Sadly, I had to return the last of the dual Quad Mac's to their rightful owners in the art department. Sure were nice producers while that lasted though.

At home-With GPU1 ending, and the paltry ppd those ancient single cores could muster, it just wasn't worth the power or heat load to keep the bulk of the menagerie of misfit machines running. So I've culled the less efficient boxes from the mix and am currently running-

My home machines are going to be down for bit. The city's been doing road work on the main thru street to our neighborhood, and in the process they managed to knock down a power pole. They got us back up and running after a couple of hours, but say the power may be up and down while they're putting it all back together. Better to just leave everything off until it's all sorted out.

I live in Oregon and it does get cold here in the winter. Right now I have gutted all the interior walls in my house and I am trying to get it insulated and drywalled before the cold weather hits. I plan to heat the house by using the heat output from the computer room. I am looking forward too a very warm house this year. The rest of the year I roll the Farm in front of two windows with large box fans exhausting the heat out the windows, along with about five other fans to help. It does get warm or should I say hot in the room.

Drat! I was hoping for something much more clever and exotic.

That's pretty much the solution I'm using, except in Minnesota it gets too hot and muggy during the summer to leave the windows open, plus I don't want to be pumping the AC from the rest of the house outside. During the winter it's proven to be a very effective solution though.
